The necklace, as an important role in the jewelry, is used more and more in our daily life. Necklace is not only an ornament of splendid appearance, but also an artwork of profound aesthetic value. Necklace involves extensive aesthetic knowledge, and we’ll introduce the aesthetic effect when wearing necklace.
First, let’s take a close look to the materials of necklace.
Necklace is roughly divided into two types, namely, metallic necklace and nonmetallic ones. Of metallic necklace, gold necklace is representative, which symbolizes a person’s social standing and identity; most gold necklaces are 24K pure gold and 18K gold. The patterns include loose necklace, rope necklace, color necklace, flagelliform necklace, silk necklace, machine-made necklace, double necklace and triple necklace, and the like. Gold necklace, in bright color, often emits dazzling light. Nonmetallic necklace is represented by crystal necklace, which is very adorable for its unique aesthetic feeling. Also, crystal necklace is the choice of people in pursuit of the aesthetic effect of harmony and balancing.
Next is choosing by the wearer’s characteristics.
The aesthetic effect of wearing necklace is analyzed from the perspective of the wearer’s characteristics. First of all, we know necklace is to be tied on our neck. The wearer’s face is inherited and unable to change, however, choosing a proper necklace helps change the visual image of face, and realize aesthetic enjoyment. Right necklace plays an important role in changing visual image of face and neck. From analysis of the wearer’s characteristics, proper necklace can be chosen to renew the wearer’s facial form and individuality. For example, people of long face and slim neck wearing crystal necklace or color necklace will have the feeling of widened face and thickened neck, however, the same necklace on the neck of a female of plump face or butt neck or with slim necklace will bring the effect of prolonged face, and produce new balance of harmony. If you’re of oval face, congratulations! For whatever the necklace you wear, you’ll be more charming. Fashionable silver jewelry with temperament compatible to your character belongs to your own taste and individuality.
Last, jewelry should be chosen by the wearer’s dressing.
In view of the wearer’s dressing, long necklace does not fit stand-up collar,or do not bare the pendant in woolen sweater of horizontal collar, wearing of necklace without pendant is recommended; when wearing woolen sweater of triple turn-down collar and stand-up collar, keep the necklace out of the coat, and make sure the pendant is free from sharp edge and bur, so as to avoid friction. If wearing red suit dress, a gold necklace will bring out full passion, which is suitable for occasion such as festive dinner; if wearing azure one-piece dress, a silver necklace will bring out tenderness, opening mind and gorgeous charm; sometimes, skintight sport shirt with a gold necklace will highlight your lightness and liveliness; if wearing a light green terylene shirt dotted with white flowers with a silver white pearl necklace, it will make you full of light and cool feeling; if wearing a snow-white dress with red necklace, you will look more handsome and full of charm.
A factor that can be over-looked when purchasing necklace lengths is body type and neck size. For women, your dress size or size of your bust can determine how a necklace will sit against the body. Women with larger busts should typically op for shorter necklaces and avoid those that are longer that 24” as they won’t sit comfortably. If you have a smaller bust, then longer, layered necklaces will look great on you. The same occurs for your neck size, if you have a thicker neck then avoid chokers as this will make your neckline look shorter. If you have a long, thin neck, then a choker can help bring proportion to your neckline and face.
start with your neck. All necklaces actually touch your neck, so what’s going on there counts a lot. Necks have length and necks have width. And some necks have wrinkles. Long necks can wear just about anything. Short necks and wrinkly necks have issues to work out, so not every necklace will be a good fit. And do remember, as with any “general” advice, there are always exceptions so it’s best to try necklaces on, if possible.
Your everyday wardrobe is another important part of your necklace length decision. Let’s stick with turtlenecks as a wardrobe example. Long ropes of chain or beads will look great with turtlenecks on most women, but if you are short or full-figured, they may not. Once you have decided what you will wear, just make sure the necklace length you choose adds to the overall look and enhances your appearance.
An important consideration is the shape of your face. The common descriptors are oval, round, square and heart-shaped. Oval faces can wear any length of necklace (keeping in mind, of course, height, neck and body size). If you have a round face, you want to pick a longer necklace, possibly with a pendant or charm, ideally something that creates a slimming “V” as it glides away from your face. Avoid the round choker as it will make your round face look rounder. The recommendation is exactly opposite for heart-shaped faces. The roundness of a choker will smooth out the heart shape’s planes and angles. Long, rectangular faces also benefit from the roundness of the choker.
